Chapter 1287


    Brad inherited her genes. They were both good at acting.


    He threw aside the newspaper and said in a deep voice, "Come here!"


    In thepany.


    Eileen had adapted to the new work. She nned to earn enough money for chemotherapy and


    hospitalization.


    In the evening, the manager, Ja Sampson, told the staff to go to the bar together after work.


    Eileen declined, "Ms. Sampson, I''m not feeling well. I want to go back home early." She had


    something wrong with one of her legs, so the bar wasn''t suitable for her. People would make fun of


    her.


    Ja shook her head. "Everyone else will attend. Why can''t you?"


    Eileen wanted to refuse, but Ja had already left.


    Resignedly, she intended to go through the motions quickly and leave the bar.


    After all, she had just joined thepany. She needed to get used to it.


    Besides, Ja was good to her. She had to g o as a favor to Ja.


    At the end of the day, everyone in the office cheered.


    Eileen was calm.


    Some of them had cars, so they drove their colleagues to the bar.


    This was the second time Eileen hade t o the bar in her life.


    Merlin once dragged her to the bar and drank a lot after being rejected by Kingsley.


    Perhaps because of her character, she felt the music was noisy and her head was in buzz. She just


    wanted to leave as soon as possible.


    Ja booked a private room.


    Eileen sat down.


    Suddenly, thunderous apuse rang out, apanied by the birthday song.


    She was stunned, standing still.


    She was in a daze for a long while.


    "You''ve even forgotten your birthday?"


    Ja smiled. "If not for you, we couldn''t have finished the project on time. We''re here to celebrate


    your birthday and thank you!"


    She couldn’t help showing concern and admiration for this strong woman.


    Finally, Eileen came out of her trance.


    Immediately, a warm feeling surged through her. Her nose twitched and her eyes were moist.


    "Thank you all for giving me such a surprise!"


    Her colleagues chuckled friendly.


    The waiter pushed the cake in. They happily smeared each other with cream.


    Eileen was smeared the most. Her cheeks and forehead were covered with the cream.


    Yet she was smiling. She had never been s o delighted.


    She had lived for so many years, but this birthday was the most lively and cheerful.


    She wasn''t as lonely as before.


    She used to be afraid that she couldn''t fit in with others because of her crippled leg, but now it


    seemed she thought too much.


    When one closed her heart, who could walk in?


    Once she opened her heart, she would find everything different.


    She didn''t understand that before.


    Never had she expected to have fun with so many colleagues.


    Eileen felt wonderful and pleased.


    Her face lit up,pletely not as gloomy as it used to be.


    They yed games until after nine o''clock.


    Since they still had a lot of work to do, the


    n of singing Karaoke was canceled.


    Ja said, "Eileen is the birthday girl. We can''t let her take the bus back. Ruben, drive Eileen back."

    Eileen hastily refused.


    She didn''t want to trouble others, but Ja didn''t listen to her at all.


    She had no choice but to get into Ruben''s car.


    After asking for the address, he set the destination on the guide map and then started the car.


    Ruben was 30 years old and good-looking.


    In thepany, he was very attractive to female colleagues. They talked a lot in the car. He was


    chatty and good at spicing things up. The atmosphere was quite good.
